An employee at Leesburg Regional Medical Center is facing several grand theft charges after authorities say she stole $5,000 from the hospital and a patient.

Patient financial services manager Ella Stevens was arrested on Thursday after hospital officials said they found an empty 'patient valuables bag' and a hospital deposit bag with $20 inside.

Deputies say that Stevens said she was going through a divorce and had money problems.
